Luiana could not emulate two champion half siblings as a racehorse; in fact, she was never even put into training. Nonetheless, she had a producing record very close in merit to that of her champion half sister Primonetta, the 1978 Kentucky Broodmare of the Year, and her branch of the family has bred on much better over the long haul.

As a producer

Luiana produced 16 named foals, of which 14 started and seven won. Her important foals are as follow:

Little Current (1971, by Sea-Bird) won the 1974 Preakness Stakes (USA-I) and Belmont Stakes (USA-I) and was the American champion 3-year-old male of 1974. He sired 35 stakes winners from 533 named foals, including 1983 Flamingo Stakes (USA-I) winner Current Hope and 1979 Hollywood Oaks (USA-I) winner Prize Spot.

Fair Renown (1972, by Stage Door Johnny) is the second dam of English Group III winner Cutting Blade.

Water Dance (1977, by Nijinsky II) won the 1981 Twilight Tear Stakes at the Meadowlands and was Grade II-placed. She is the second dam of Grade II winner Magic Storm and the third dam of 2014 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (JPN-I) winner Lachesis, 2011 Del Mar Futurity (USA-I) winner Drill and 2017 Yasuda Kinen (JPN-I) winner Satono Aladdin.

Darbyvail (1984, by Roberto) is the dam of Grade II-placed stakes winner Turkish Tryst (by Turkoman). In turn, Turkish Tryst is the dam of 2007 King's Bishop Stakes (USA-I) Hard Spun (by Danzig), now a good stallion. Darbyvail is also the third dam of Argentine Group II winner Rival Dan.

Luv Luiana (1986, by Roberto) is the dam of Australian Group III winner Almazyoon (by Danehill), dam in turn of Australian Group III winner El Maze.
